Outline of the ruling on Zambrano

Article 20 TFEU is to be interpreted as meaning that it precludes a Member State from refusing a third country national upon whom his minor children, who are European Union citizens, are dependent, a right of residence in the Member State of residence and nationality of those children, and from refusing to grant a work permit to that third country national, in so far as such decisions deprive those children of the genuine enjoyment of the substance of the rights attaching to the status of European Union citizen.

Note that there are numerous articles to be found on Google in relation to this case. I list a few of the webpages here:

Article 24. The *rights* of the child
1. Children shall have the right to such protection and care as is necessary for their well-being. They may express their views freely. Such views shall be taken into consideration on matters which concern them in accordance with their age and maturity.

2. In all actions relating to children, whether taken by public authorities or private institutions, the child’s best interests must be a primary consideration.

3. Every child shall have the right right to maintain on a regular basis a personal relationship and direct contact with both his or her parents, unless that is contrary to his or her interests. (Emphasis added)

So, after months of trying, and no success. I got a little frustrated. Knowing about the pending rules for Legal Aid removing support for both family and immigration cases. I made a post on the following website: Immigration Boards.com

I was given some info by Obie about Deriviate Residence under “Zambrano“. I started to Google the term, and came up with no end of information on the “perceived” aspect and scope of Zambrano.
